SuperCapacitor UltraCapacitor Super Battery EEstor Vapourware

.

Lots of Hype 

But Years On

NO PRODUCT

It would seem, looking at the energy storage development outfits several years on,  that the Ultra-Super-Capacitor and Super-Duper Battery which have been hyped and promised to us - are most probably in the "Vapour-ware" category. 

It looks to me like that the product of these companies is not actually physical, material or solid products, but rather cubic miles of hot vaporous hype, essentially investment and grant money attracting devices.

I have sort of tired of following these vapour wares, and given up on some of the BullSh** manufacturers like EEstor, Ecolocap etc.

Ultra Capacitors & Nano-Technology Batteries?

What has happened to the Greatly Hyped

Super Capacitors and Mega Batteries?

Answer - NOTHING!! I have been writing about several companies for several years who have hyped on about the way they are going to change energy usage - cars, trucks and buses - computers - wind generating stations etc. - with their fantastic super batteries and their UltraCapacitors of mega capacity.

EEstor, Ecolocap, NextAlternative, and Fluidic Energy, to drop just three names - four actually - out of a long enough list - into the bag, have all produced NOTHING for the consumer, other than rumours and hearsay.

When will we see an electric car with a 300 mile per charge capacity, a laptop with a 20 hour charge etc?. - I would not hold my breath.

Ecolocap appeared to have produce hard scientific proof of such capacity in a battery over 16 months ago, there was talk of production units in India and elsewhere - but - for such an astounding product with a potentially massive market, and a world waiting with bated breath - NOTHING on the shelves as yet - NOTHING concrete so to speak.

EEstor have been keeping us holding our breath for many time longer than Ecolocap - they have produced by way of a commercial product: NOTHING.

O Arse - why do I get my hopes up??
